HRC & Equality NC: NBA Decision to Reward North Carolina for Discrimination is Deeply Disappointing<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n

HRC\u00a0and Equality NC released the following statements after NBA Commissioner Adam Silver\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0North Carolina is now eligible to host future All-Star Games. The NBA decision comes in the wake of the discriminatory back-room \u201cdeal\u201d made by North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper and the state\u2019s GOP leadership that doubles down on many of the worst aspects of the anti-LGBTQ HB2 law.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is deeply disappointing to see the NBA reward North Carolina for doubling down on discrimination,\u201d said\u00a0HRC President Chad Griffin.\u00a0\u201cNorth Carolina has enacted a statewide ban on non-discrimination protections, and it remains the only state that has made it the state\u2019s exclusive business to decide where transgender people may use the restroom. These are dangerous laws that must change, and if the NBA decides to bring games to North Carolina \u2014 which is not yet clear \u2014 we expect that they will also be actively working to repeal laws that endanger LGBTQ players, fans, and employees.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is disheartening to see the NBA fall for the fake repeal passed by lawmakers in Raleigh,\u201d said\u00a0Equality NC Executive Director Chris Sgro. \u201cThe NBA has been a staunch opponent of HB2 and should be standing strong against HB142. The new law continues to put LGBTQ North Carolinians at risk and does little to alleviate the harm and discrimination put in place by the original HB2.\u201d<\/p>\n

With today\u2019s announcement, Commissioner Silver said the NBA would develop a non-discrimination policy and require NBA partners to sign on to it. Unfortunately, Governor Roy Cooper\u2019s back-room deal with Republican leadership in the General Assembly currently prevents North Carolina cities from meeting non-discrimination requirements.<\/p>\n

The NBA\u2019s announcement comes as a growing list of states and cities have issued or re-affirmed their bans on taxpayer-funded travel to North Carolina, including\u00a0Minnesota<\/a>,\u00a0New York City<\/a>,\u00a0Washington, DC<\/a>,\u00a0San Francisco<\/a>,\u00a0Atlanta<\/a>,\u00a0Seattle<\/a>,\u00a0Oakland<\/a>,\u00a0Portland<\/a>,\u00a0Santa Fe<\/a>,\u00a0Cincinnati<\/a>,\u00a0Salt Lake City<\/a>,\u00a0Los Angeles<\/a>,\u00a0Cincinnati<\/a>,\u00a0Palm Springs<\/a>, and\u00a0Wilton Manors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The legislation passed last week, HB 142, is not HB2 repeal, and it makes North Carolina the latest state to enact an anti-LGBTQ bill into law this year. The new law replaces one discriminatory, anti-transgender, bathroom bill with another. It bans local LGBTQ non-discrimination protections statewide through 2020 and substitutes the previous anti-transgender bathroom provisions with a new provision that forbids state agencies, public universities, primary and secondary schools, and cities from adopting policies ensuring transgender people have access to restrooms consistent with their gender identity.<\/p>\n

Former North Carolina Gov. Pat. McCrory \u2014 who lost his seat because of his role in HB2 \u2014 and the Family Research Council \u2014 an anti-LGBTQ hate group \u2014 have come out in favor of the new law, but condemnation for this sham \u201cdeal\u201d has been widespread. Indeed, news of the fake repeal was met with a huge national outcry from major civil rights organizations, including\u00a0HRC, Equality North Carolina, the National Center for Transgender Equality, Lambda Legal, the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, the American Federation of Teachers, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, Voto Latino, The Lawyers\u2019 Committee for Civil Rights Under Law; corporations including IBM, Salesforce, Dow and Levi\u2019s; and celebrities like Ellen Page, Jane Fonda, Janet Mock, Tegan and Sara, Montel Williams, Rob Reiner, Jason Collins, Martina Navratilova and Raymond Braun.<\/p>\n

Civil rights groups have been working to correct the record on the discriminatory measure, and the tide has turned in calling out this sham \u201cdeal\u201d exactly for what it is. Top headlines include:\u00a0The<\/em>\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0editorial board, \u201cNorth Carolina\u2019s Bait-and-Switch on Transgender Restroom Law<\/a>;\u201d Steven Petrow for\u00a0The Washington Post<\/em>, \u201cYou can\u2019t compromise on civil rights.
